Those that are being abusive on this group page are being requested to withdraw from it. Their abuse of the administrator or any member will not be patiently borne with. In case they cross limits of civility and natural endurance, they will be forthwith removed or even blocked from the group. To vilify each other at the drop of a hat will not be tolerated.
Posing to be devotees of Netaji has become a fashion these days where people pour out their invective against each other without bothering to observe basic norms of civility. Should such misdemeanour surface beyond reasonable proportions, all such miscreants will be removed from the group. Let none assume exclusive superior devotion to Netaji and let none imagine that fanaticism of any sort will be tolerated here.
This group is for civil discussion on all issues concerning Netaji, the revolutionaries for India's freedom and the revolutionaries the world over who worked for the emancipation of the human race from the bondage to colonialism, imperialism, occupation and the like whose influence may have been formative impressions on the minds of Netaji and our revolutionaries for freedom, for instance, the likes of Mazzini, Garibaldi and Mustafa Kamal Pasha. This page also traces down the history of revolution and the movement for freedom in India and caters to such epic heroes as Rana Pratap, Shivaji, Guru Arjan Dev, Guru Tegh Bahadur, Guru Gobind Singh, Rani Lakshmi Bai, Mangal Pandey, Tantiya Tope, Nana Sahib and the like who have down the ages lived and died to uphold India's freedom from barbarous forces threatening to crush it.
All posts catering to the above stated subjects may be presented here but in as non-communal a way as possible so that this page has a universal appeal much like the personality of Netaji.
May Mother India shower her graces on all is the prayer of this insignificant member and administrator of this group ! Vande Mataram ! Jai Hind !

Ashis Kumar Basu No, no, you are spot on in your assessment, especially, since the foundation of the British Empire was laid post the defeat of Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah at the Battle of Plassey [Palashi] which acquired for the British the first sector of their 'Jewel in the Crown' and thereon they proceeded with the conquest of the rest of India and later, powered by the Indian soldiers, they overran so many other parts of the world till the sun never set in the British Empire. Siraj, thus, forms the historical link at the very foundation of the British colonial conquests the world over and, as such, he at the inception, Bahadur Shah Zaffar at the endpoint and Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan in the intermediary phase along with the Marathas in the Peshwas, form the connecting links to this tale of the British conquest and the resistance thereof to it whose last phase was fought out post the First War of Indian Independence of 1857 in the growing constitutional, non-violent and revolutionary armed resistance for freedom. Netaji was well aware of all this, being a keen student of Indian and world history, and it was, thus, that he made for the celebration of Siraj-ud-Daulah Day on 3 July, 1940 but was arrested the previous day and confined in the Alipore Presidency Jail in Kolkata. By honouring Siraj and Bahadur Shah Zaffar in Rangoon, Burma, Netaji was not only paying his homage to Indian rulers who had fought against the British to preserve India's independence but was also using symbolism to forge faltering Hindu-Muslim unity to put up an integrated front against British colonialism. Hence, Siraj, Tipu and the like are most pertinent to this page and need detailed discussion.
